There are a great many colored people who are ashamed of the cake-walk, but I think they ought to be proud of it.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I hate pride, but if I were going to be proud of anything it would have to be something I'd done myself. Race pride is kind of stupid.
I'm a black American, and I'm proud to represent who and where I'm from - unapologetically. There's no shame in my game.
I'm a black American, I am proud of my race. I am proud of who I am. I have a lot of pride and dignity.
The hate directed against the colored people here in St. Louis has always given me a sad feeling... How can you expect the world to believe in you and respect your preaching of democracy when you yourself treat your colored brothers as you do?
It was tremendously satisfying to watch this color parade.
Everyone should be proud of who they are and where they come from because America is a big melting pot of diverse ethnicities. It's great to be part of this wonderful country.
We cannot continually barricade ourselves under some falsified idea of race, because our idea of blackness and race is simply reactionary. Africans didn't walk around Africa being black and proud, they walked around proud.
My wife says I spend my life trying to teach white folks. I'm not so sure I'm proud of it, but she's right.
I think I'm prouder of 'The Victim' than anything else, just because, if nothing else, it doesn't look silly, it doesn't look stupid. It holds up. It's fun. A lot of people have enjoyed it, and I'm real happy about it.
I have never been able to discover anything disgraceful in being a colored man. But I have often found it inconvenient - in America.
